Ingredients

Salt and pepper
1 1/2 to 2 pounds small green beans, or a mixture of different colors, topped and tailed
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 small shallot, diced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup good-quality pitted green olives, halved
2 tablespoons chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Steps:

Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to a boil. Add beans and cook for 2 minutes, until firm-tender. Drain and rinse beans with cool water, then blot with a kitchen towel. Set aside.
Make the vinaigrette: Put garlic, shallot and vinegar in a small bowl. Add a good pinch of salt and a smaller pinch of pepper; let macerate for 5 to 10 minutes. Add mustard and whisk to dissolve, then whisk in olive oil.
Assemble the salad: Put cooked beans in a serving bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add olives and half the vinaigrette. Toss well, then taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle salad with dill and chives and serve.
